Lifeboat USA – Sinking from Illegal Immigration
by Joel S. Hirschhorn
The epidemic of stupidity in the USA has risen to new heights with the widespread
public, political and media support for the tens of thousands of illegal
immigrants from Central America invading the country from Mexico. Those protesting the way the government
is behaving are being attacked.
The narrative goes like this: Oh those poor children and mothers escaping
incredibly awful conditions want nothing more than a decent life in the
USA, and why not? After all we are a nation of
immigrants. How could we deny
giving these suffering kids and mothers a place in our nation? Never mind the legitimate sanctity of
our borders.
A sure sign of disgraceful and all too frequent media bias is use of the terms “migrants” and “undocumented immigrants” instead of illegal immigrants.
But here is where the real stupidity comes in. What could amount to from 50,000 to
100,000 of these illegal immigrants crashing into our nation at considerable
expense is nothing compared to the many millions of kids and mothers in many
places globally also suffering admittedly terrible conditions. What about all those in Africa, the
Middle East and the desperately poor in India, for example? Sadly, in all too many places, children
with or without their parents are plagued by disease, violence, starvation,
exploitation and abandonment.
So it is rational to ask: What if millions of people, both parents and
children, seeking nothing more than a better life in the USA were to make
it across any of our borders?
Should we not also let them come in and stay? Are those from a few Central American
countries intrinsically deserving of better treatment? Are some illegal immigrants more
deserving than others?
Can any nation maintain sovereign self respect and ensure its own
economic future by allowing huge numbers of illegal immigrants to enter and stay
in its country? I say absolutely
NO!
I want to see a nationwide grassroots uprising that vigorously protests
what is now happening. More
Americans need to envision a lifeboat that sinks into the ocean because more and
more floundering, desperate people beg to be let into the lifeboat and the
idiots already in the lifeboat acquiesce. So they all sink and perish. Welcome to Lifeboat America.
Here is an idea for the insanely barbaric Islamic radicals filled with
hatred for the USA: Start to replace your many ideas on how
to use violence to defeat the USA with plans to ship suffering kids
and mothers by any means across any of our borders. Think big. Think in terms of sending a few million
sufferers to the USA. Get them on boats and airplanes. Don’t use explosives on airplanes. Use the worst off kids and mothers
instead. Finance their transport to
the USA. Then sit back and watch Lifeboat
USA sink.
Wake up Americans. This
illegal immigration situation is not about compassion and humanitarian
assistance. It is sheer illogical
stupidity. If we do not rationally
and intelligently control illegal immigration, we have no future for most
Americans. Our political system is
clearly dysfunctional. Too many
politicians seek an advantage by being illegal immigrant friendly; too many
people in the business sector want to ensure low cost labor.
We cannot expect immediate rational action from the two-party duopoly and
greed driven oligarchy. Not unless
many millions of Americans understand that illegal immigration is a life or
death issue for the country they profess to love. A big picture, longer term perspective
supports government policy that requires all new illegal immigrants be
immediately sent back to their country of origin. Anything other than this creates
widespread motivation in foreign countries and among those making money from
transporting illegal immigrants to keep sending more and more illegal immigrants
across our borders. What would stop
this madness? The longer it goes
on, the more difficult it becomes to stop it.
